It requires a great deal of courage to trust in humans. It makes you completely vulnerable. And how many people were let down because of trusting the wrong person. Be it a friend, lover or family member, trust doesn't come easily.
I think we build walls. Big strong walls with moats.
All around ourselves so that no one could get in. So that we can protect ourselves. So that we don't get hurt.
As time goes by, the walls become stronger. Brick by brick, added from day to day. And we can't live without the wall around us.
Maybe that's the right way to live. Mind your own business, each man to himself. This way, you won't get hurt in a dog eat dog world. No one can't ever hurt you because you can't be touched. You're invincible.
That's how i used to be. Maybe i'm still like that. Walls make me feel safe. With walls, nobody can ever come in.
But Jesus stands outside and knock. And i want to let Him in. Because i know His love is unfailing. Humans fail you, but God doesn't. He is unfailing. Thus, I chose to trust.
So i have started to take down those bricks. One at a time. It may be awfully slow. And i may never have the courage to take down the whole wall completely. I still choose who i intend keep the wall up for, because it's impossible to trust everyone.
Forgive me if i'm too closed-up. But i'm trying and i'm learning. I'm depending on the unfailing One.
